“In Delta, we have good stories to tell. Huge infrastructure development and upgrade of medical facilities are ongoing. Advance Fee Fraud, otherwise known as Yahoo Yahoo is alien to us, but suddenly reared its ugly head in some.part of the state.

“Governor Oborevwori is fighting crime via good governance. We are appealing to our youths to take advantage of the various skills acquisition and agricultural programmes. Government target is to raise thousands of young entrepreneurs in the state.

“The governor was pained to learn that some 123 youths from different parts of the country were arrested recently and paraded at Ekpan Police Station over alleged advance fee fraud (yahoo yahoo) activities. This is very sad, and not in our character in Delta State.

“Illegal Hustling kingdom, HK, is not permitted in any part of Delta State. The police is on top of the matter, and more of such criminal hideouts shall be sorted out.

“Governor Oborevwori want our youths to fulfil individual colourful destiny. They must of a necessity associate with people and peers of high moral discipline,” Oghenesivbe said.
